ELI5-What is entropy?
In: 1763
I’ve always thought about it as process irreversibility. Things don’t naturally get more ordered over time. For example, think about a desk that you work at. If that desk starts clean and orderly, it will inherently become disordered over time, unless you take a specific action to reset/clean it.
I hope that helps a little. Entropy is a very abstract concept, but at the end of the day it’s just a mathematical concept that shows processes cannot be fully reversed.
